Uses the CYOA interface to produce a remarkably cohesive and entertaining game about juggling the demands and problems of a high school senior. (Unlike some CYOA, this one returns to the same decision points instead of branching out wildly -- but what you've done already affects what options you have at future decisions. You can only spend money you've earned, for instance, and if you've spent the week goofing off instead of working, well, you're out of luck.)
Your choices over the course of the week described in the game create a profile of your character -- morally, socially, and academically -- leading to one of a very large number of endings. There are no puzzles, except inasmuch as the player may want to try for specific outcomes. Fun.
